I was 22 when I first started diving in the Philippines.
I was always interested in the ocean and was a lifeguard and boat driver at a summer camp. I had some friends going to get certified and I wanted to join in.
I was living in Korea and we flew to Panglao, Philippines. I did my open water there and a few years later I came back to life and did my Divemaster and Instructor course as well.
I am an MSDT for PADI and a Master Freediving instructor for Molchanovs.
Being able to see all the creatures, and exploring new places.
I also enjoy running, reading, and helping organize.
